We’ve got another URL cleanup for you: ref names in tree browsing URLs.
In The Old Days
You’d take this path:
- http://github.com/ezmobius/redis-rb/tree/master
- http://github.com/ezmobius/redis-rb/tree/308c4e3fb7df212cd4c9f06260bd68a3566cb53c/lib
- http://github.com/ezmobius/redis-rb/blob/308c4e3fb7df212cd4c9f06260bd68a3566cb53c/lib/redis.rb
Gross.
In The New Days
You take this path:
- http://github.com/ezmobius/redis-rb
- http://github.com/ezmobius/redis-rb/tree/master/lib
- http://github.com/ezmobius/redis-rb/blob/master/lib/redis.rb
Much nicer.
